whats sony's game plan?

[raverx3m 10+ year member]

i dont really understand sony's strategy in past few years.

they seem to actively alienate themselves from quality in every prduct category they make.

from what i remember back in 95 sony used to be one of the top quality home audio.

now itsa mainly wallmart brand.

they make shitty laptops

cheap flashy home stereos and bomboxes

crappy phones

they were almost kicked out of the contract with ericsson after the experia.

they shrunk their cell phone like to almost nothing.

most of the carriers dont have sony cellphones

walkman brand is probably the only thing saving them from crash right now...

their car audio lineup is also a joke...

the 500 speakers with ribbon tweeters? we had 2 pairs of those and the dust cap fell off on both pairs and then tweeters burned out...

can anyoen explain to me whats goin on with sony? did they get alzheimer's disease as a company or something?

Cheaper prices mean larger market share. Id say that is clearly their marketing game plan lately.

ye man i bought a vaio computer few years ago also.

you know what i did?

punched thru the screen after a year of use(it was a 2000 dollar laptopp too)

and i felt so fn good after punching it, it was worth the 2000 dollars

my dad bought few sony phones also and tossed them in the trash

i know sony can make amazing sht but they dont for some reason... they rather hang out with wallmart crowd...

x2, this wins everytime. Except the walkman and the PS3 is the only thing good out of them. I have a walkman and play my PS3 almost daily //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Sony makes good laptops, sony can make good phones. Infact im waiting for the sony x10 phone to come out, best specs of any new phone coming out. Like mentioned ps3 is good, they also make excellent tvs.

Yep sony makes all crap...

People will continue to buy Sony stuff, no matter how shitty it is, because it says "Sony" on it.

I don't see why sony TV's are so good. They break fairly easily, and when they break, you have to bring them to an "authorized sony repair shop" to get warranty repair.

In my case, this "authorized sony repair shop" happened to be 300 and some miles away.

Just like bose, sony has been running on a name for ages.
